Smoke Detector Replacement in Universal City, TX

Home should be where you feel comfortable and safe, but you should never be complacent. The threat of a building fire is one that homeowners can’t afford to overlook. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are over 300,000 fires per year that result in nearly 3,000 deaths and over $10 billion in damages.

While there are steps you can take to minimize the risk, fires can start unexpectedly and having a line of defense is crucial. One of the most important tools in this defense is the humble smoke detector.

If your smoke detector installation in Universal City, TX is giving you cause for concern, then call Mr. Electric to have it inspected, repaired, or replaced as soon as possible. If you’re not sure, then continue reading to learn about signs of trouble.

Signs your smoke detector needs attention

Smoke detectors work tirelessly in the background, but they deserve attention and a hand every now and then. Like any device, they can fail over time. Pay attention to these warning signs:

If your smoke detector is going off without any signs of smoke or fire, it could mean the sensor is malfunctioning.
If no sound comes from your detector when you press the ‘test’ button, or it emits a weak beep, it’s time for a battery or smoke detector replacement.
If your detector is older than 10 years, it’s time to consider a replacement.
Yellowing or discoloration could be a sign that your device may not function properly in an emergency.
If your smoke detector is chirping or beeping, then it might be time to change the batteries or arrange a smoke detector repair.

The smoke detector gives you a valuable few minutes of time to react in the event of a fire, so give it the attention it deserves. Call Mr. Electric if you suspect your smoke detector needs to be repaired or replaced.

When to replace the smoke detector

Even if your smoke detector installation appears to be in good condition, we typically recommend a smoke detector replacement in Universal City once every 10 years. This is because the device’s internal components can degrade over time and the sensors become less sensitive.

A smoke detector replacement is a small price to pay in order to keep your home and family safe. Plus, modern smoke detectors often come with advanced features like carbon monoxide detection, voice alerts, and interconnected systems. Call Mr. Electric to learn about your upgrade options.

Plus, pricing should not be a concern when you choose Mr. Electric. We provide competitive pricing and are prepared to give you a price quote upfront and BEFORE the work begins.

John was on time, explained the issue I was having, offered me a couple of options, and then repaired the switch that was giving me problems, following my preferences of the choices he had given me. He was pleasant, professional, and did a great job. Would not hesitate to use Mr. Electric again!

Sue Trautner

Austin, electrician and his teammate we’re great! Both were punctual, courteous, and very informative in explaining the situation and their recommendations to replace a bad breaker in our panel. There was NO frivolous attempt up-sale to items we didn’t need and they were straight to the point honest in their recommendation. In the end, I would described the customer service Austin and his teammate provided me as, AWESOME! Being a new home owner, I am glad I have found this company and will be using them any future electrical needs!

Mark Flores

Outstanding communication and very professional service. I would highly recommend Mr. Electric. Received both e-mails and texts on appointment to include a photo and short bio of the actual electrician (Brad Mason) who would be doing the work. Wish all home service providers did the same. Brad was on time (actually a few minutes early). He installed 30AMP breaker and associated RV plug in our garage. To avoid any sheetrock repairs it was necessary for him to drop the line to the house electric panel through a wall with foam insulation, with very limited head/body clearance for him to work. No mess left behind from the actual plug installation on another wall.

Rick from Mr. Electric arrived when expected and quickly diagnosed the problem. He recommended a solution and gave us a proposal for solving the problem. We asked when he could do the work and how long would it take. He said he could do the job that day and it would take 4 or 5 hours. The price was reasonable, and we told him to get started. He did a very good job, neat and within the estimated time. The invoice amount for the job was was the same as the proposal amount. We are planning on having Mr. Electric and hopefully Rick do more work in the near future to upgrade our home's 50+ year old electrical system. Photo of our new circuit breaker panel.
